🎶I know what dads want. I know what dads like.🎶
Let's get this Father's Day gifting situation under control!
This issue of the Gee Thanks! newsletter is sponsored by Walmart.
Shopping for dads can often feel like embarking on a road trip without a map. I mean, you think you know a dad! And then it’s time to get them a gift and it’s like…how about socks…or…what about…a tie? Not bad gifts, of course, but every year: socks? Or tie? Is the first thing that pops into my brain. How many necks and feet can one dad have?
I know I am not alone in this; you’re here too. Which is why it’s no surprise that our holiday gift guides for Dads are some of our most revisited during the month of June. Everyone’s looking for ideas. Fear not, brave gift-giver! I, with the help of Walmart, have you covered! I love knowing that Walmart carries Geezer-approved products and brands online; high-quality items at prices that don’t send you running for the hills. Or in this case, for the socks.
Whether your dad is tech-savvy, outdoorsy, or a lover of all things food, Walmart is your one-stop shop for all things Father’s Day (and everyday!).
1. Something That Screams Your Dad’s Name (literally)
Customized Watches: Get it engraved with a special message, so he can’t forget who loves him the most.
An Aura frame: Grab an Aura frame ($30 off at Walmart) and set it up ahead of June 16th. Have your siblings share their fav pics and memories with dear old dad that he can access 24/7. Who’s cutting onions?
Monogrammed Accessories: Wallets or cufflinks. His initials will make the latter feel like royal artifacts.
2. Something Techy or Gadget-y for the Toy Lover
The Party Speaker: That Yacht Rock playlist isn’t going to boom itself out dad’s Spotify account, you know? This massive indoor/outdoor speaker ($119 at Walmart) will surely get the party started all summer long.
Outdoor Projector: Movie nights on the lawn never looked so good. The Anker Nebula is a gift to go in on with all of your sibs, and it will provide Dad with a great bribe to get the family together. Sooo…what are we watching? (Under $300 at Walmart).
Nintendo Switch: Don’t tell your kids about this one. Sometimes parents just need their own Adult Mario Kart machine (Save $40 at Walmart!).
3. Outdoor and Adventure Gear
Rechargable Car Battery Jumper: If your dad has a car, and uses that car to drive places, this is the most practical gift you can give. They come in a range of sizes and prices, and you can get some really good deals.
RTIC Cooler: This was recommended in the Gee Thanks! group many years ago and every year it gets tons of Father’s Day shoppers. Walmart carries this high quality cooler that’s 30% lighter to carry than its competitors, but tough enough to be the last big cooler you ever buy.
The Solo Stove: The smokeless fire pit that hit the Gee Thanks! community hard in summer 2020 is the perfect gift for a dad who likes to enjoy all the outdoor time he can.
4. Chef Dad Vibes
Blackstone Propane Pizza Oven: Score $100 off this crowd fav at Walmart and score homemade pizza every time Dad hauls it out. Win win win win!
GE Nugget Ice Maker: Okay yes, an ice maker isn’t necessarily about “cooking” but getting $180 off this bestseller will surely make his kitchen the most popular spot to be this summer.
Grilling Tools: High-quality tools for the dad who believes the grill is his kingdom. ($36 at Walmart).
5. DIY Gifts
Handmade Crafts: Scrapbooks, artwork, or anything that shows you spent more than five minutes on it. One Geezer said instead of cards for holidays, each holiday has a “notebook” and every year their kids fill up a few pages with cards and nice words. That way there’s no pile of cards and artwork to keep track of. Grab your notebooks here.
Home-Cooked Meal: Cook his favorite meal or bake his favorite dessert. Just remember to clean up afterward (that’s half the gift).
Memory Jar: Fill a jar with notes of appreciation and memories.
